One stat, or is this a yearly occurrence. Mets was saying significant, and I take that to mean a good amount and often not just rare |

Coastal southern Western Australia is often cited as 'quintessential Med', the thing is though, sometimes they can get heavy summer rain from decaying tropical cyclones.
Perth in Dec, Jan and Feb.
Average rain = Dec - 10.5mm. Jan - 17.8mm, Fab - 13.9mm
Median rain = Dec - 4.3mm, Jan - 1.5mm, Feb - 3.4mm
Record rain = Dec - 75.8mm, Jan - 139.0mm, Feb - 137.2mm

Mets was saying significant, and I take that to mean a good amount and often not just rare "Jerusalem experiences a mixed subtropical semiarid climate featuring cool, wet winters and hot, dry summers. Winter in Jerusalem runs from November through March and is characterized by heavy rainfall, mild temperatures, and the occasional snowfall. Heavy snowfall is rare in Jerusalem, falling once every three or four years. Snow flurries, however, are recorded two or three times every winter" I would say what Mets said is basically correct. We're not talkin' Buffalo type falls, but enough every 3 or 4 years to be called 'significant', particularly by their standards. |

He quoted alex992 and I, and we both live in regions that get 120-130cm of snowfall annually. Getting a moderate snow every 3-4 years is not even remotely significant to either of us |

^^ Which why weather and climate preferences are so subjective, 'eh ? For people in countries where falling snow, let alone settling snow is uncommon, a decent fall in Jerusalem is pretty cool and would likely be significant for the locals.

Oh certainly for the people who live there. I'm just saying you tagged us in the statement. A light snow every 4 years isn't significant to us, and not enough to change my opinion, especially the fact NYC gets nearly 30" annually |

Jew York is better than Jewusalem, which is too dry for too long.

Temperatures and sunshine put Jerusalem into a different league for me compared to New York. Also if US sunshine hours are truly inflated due to using a different measuring system the difference may be even greater

Jerusalem (C+) for the longer period of mild warmth, more sunshine and equally hot, but less humid summers compared to NYC (C)
